Hello João,

I think there was a mail issue with the patch, it is not on lore (and,
so, invisible to patchwork and most tools):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/970d21c2-3b07-4c54-ada5-c9a0eae762dc@bootlin.com/
>  [parent not found: <20260909170357.2887215-1-joaomarcos.costa@bootlin.com>]

I think you should RESEND it.

Regards,
